So how do the teams in the SEC stack up heading into Week 13 of the 2025 season? Here’s the latest edition of AL.com ’s SEC football power rankings for 2025 (all times Central and all games Saturday):

Should Texas A&M and Alabama meet, the Aggies would have locked in a top-4 seed and opening-round bye in the College Football Playoff. Texas A&M could even overtake top-ranked Ohio State with 13-0 finish given the strength of schedule.

The journey of Alabama's season didn't change much with loss to Oklahoma, but vibes were harpooned and perception polluted.

Had Alabama beaten Oklahoma in Week 12, its Iron Bowl matchup with Auburn would not have dictated its College Football Playoff livelihood. When the Sooners defeated the Crimson Tide, though, things changed.

Oklahoma forced three turnovers and sacked Ty Simpson four times to pull of its biggest win since joining the SEC

Oklahoma players sang "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Dixieland Delight" in the postgame locker room after beating the Crimson Tide.

OU had three players earn SEC honors after its upset win over Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Saturday. Cornerback Eli Bowen was named SEC Defensive Player of the Week after his 87-yard pick-six. Defensive end Taylor Wein was named SEC Defensive Line Player of the Week after blocking a field goal and having a strip sack.

The Illini and Crimson Tide will face off at the United Center in Chicago on Wednesday night. Who is expected to add a top-25 win?
